Chapter Text
Juan had started to wonder where Wallace was given he didn't seem to be in Steven's main office the big office and it had become a sensitive topic for Steven also Lisia was worried so Juan decided to check Steven's old office just approaching and opening the door which he immediately recognized as a mistake when he laid eyes on a infected Wallace
Juan when laying eyes on the thing Wallace had become so disheveled and rotting and blood soaked mostly from the clear habit of pulling out hair and the rot of course the thing that was once Wallace just laid on the mattress Juan knew he had to make a quick decision to slam the door or lure Wallace outside for the safety of everyone
Juan knew the risk he was taking but he made a noise a stomp and watched as Wallace turned so Juan waited for Wallace to charge then he ran running for the outside with Wallace chasing Juan could feel his heart beating rapidly but he got outside Wallace following
Once Juan got outside he stopped with a deep breath letting Wallace catch up and as Wallace attacked Juan just hugged him holding the sootopolis gym leader he once trained that excelled farther then Juan ever expected in his arms as he felt the bite he remained calm
"I'm proud of you you're so strong and brave" Juan said trying to stay in a positive mindset to detour his own mind failing and maybe try to get through to Wallace despite how he knew that fell on deaf ears
Juan felt his infection start to take hold quickly but he just hugged Wallace till he was gone as well
